Un-musical it - That Would Be Enough (Hamilton)

(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ331A7NcjDs

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXb71jF11q

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6dsWiGe4n

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyePj3gtA

Hamilton: No.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XyE3ryuCd

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ykykoVve

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCus0TFEbj

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpdEVBTF4J

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFz01u6Rus

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qvqaKD6Q

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOGGC83CZa

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR2ze68vcp

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF04TsoYPHu

Eliza: Look around. Look at where you are. Look at where you started. You used to be an immigrant from a place no one knew about, trying to gain an education in a place you weren't respected. Now, you write for General Washington, a man who is going to bring us independence. How can anyone not respect you now? 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3bnWzK2cd

Not to mention, the fact that you're alive is a miracle. You've lived twice as long as expected. Just please, stay alive, that would be enough.

And if this child has a fraction of your smile or a fragment of your mind, (laughs) look out world! That would be enough. 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXpNRrhkCc

I don't pretend to know the challenges your facing, the worlds you create and erase in your mind. But I am not afraid. I know who I married. I don't need you to be famous or the most successful man in America, just as long as you come home at the end of the day, everyday...that would be enough.

We don't need a legacy. We don't need money. And if I can grant you peace of mind...if you can let me inside your heart...354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHwErzM9Bs

There will be a narrative written about you one day. Let me be a part of it. Let this moment be the first chapter, the one where you decide to stay...

Oh, and I could be enough! And we could be enough. That would be enough...

(Lost in the moment, Eliza looks at Hamilton again. He is crying. Another beat, and they embrace.)354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyWTIQnIpi
